Curriculum Vitae

I am a Professor of Mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics of the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania

I obtained my Ph. D. in Mathematics at the Paris XI University (Orsay), France, in 1999, with a thesis in arithmetic geometry (advisor: Lucien Szpiro) (Scholarship of the French Government for doctoral studies, 15 months)

I graduated from Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania, and I obtained my master degree (Diplome dEtudes Approfondies) at the Paris XI University (Orsay), France (Scholarship of the French Government for graduate studies, 12 months).
